What is Lashing Wire?
Lashing Wire is high-strength wire used to secure aerial cables to utility and telephone poles, ensuring stability, safety, and long-term performance. It is specifically engineered to withstand tension, environmental exposure, and mechanical stress, making it essential for telecommunications infrastructure. Central Wire manufactures stainless steel lashing wire and tie wire designed for reliability in critical outdoor environments.
Lashing Wire for Utility, Telecom & Infrastructure Applications
Central Wire Lashing Wire is primarily used in telecommunications and utility pole line hardware, where it binds and secures cables to prevent movement, signal disruption, and structural failure. Properly secured cables improve network reliability, reduce maintenance, and enhance safety during extreme weather conditions.
In addition to telecom, tie wire is widely used in construction and masonry applications, including securing stainless steel rebar in DOT and infrastructure projects, especially in corrosive environments.
Stainless Steel Alloys for Strength & Corrosion Resistance
We manufacture Lashing and Tie Wire using high-performance stainless steel alloys, including:
- 302
- 304
- 316
- 430
- Duplex 2205 (Tie Wire applications)
These materials provide excellent corrosion resistance, tensile strength, and durability, making them ideal for outdoor exposure, high-salt environments, and long-term structural use.
Critical Alloys for Corrosion & High-Temperature Environments
